Fredrick Nietzsche was the philosopher who unlike other philosopher did not talk about the vices of the pain and suffering in our life instead he tells that it is very important for us to have pain and suffering in our life if we truly want to enjoy the life and be successful. According to him the life without any kind of pain which is lived in a coop with a comfortable life is not worth living and thus will not benefit the person. He thought that pain and failures in life was a good teacher which leads us to become more sharp and worthy human being.
